First Time Playing

Poor pace of play;

No ranger in the afternoon. Foursomes sharing clubs. Needed attention. While we played in the afternoon, could have finished if a ranger on site. Multiple times a hole open to move players. Additionally, on site drop off was disorganized and no carts available

Great value

Starfire is a great value. Course was in good shape but greens had a lot of ball marks. Ground was pretty firm at white Tee boxes. I’m definitely going back.

Starfire

Everything was good except for a shortage of carts which didn’t allow time to use the practice range. Also, there seemed to be one group that was holding up play but we didn’t see any rangers. When we played last week pace of play was good.

Course is in great shape. New owners appear to be giving it attention. Sand traps actually had sand in them. Fairways are lush and greens roll really well crtainly worth the $100 to play but not the $150+ on weekends.

Pace of play

Pace of play very slow, 2:06 T time had to quit on hole

16 do to darkness. Course was in good shape except for

T boxes, very hard to place a tee in ground without it breaking.

Oops disappointed

I was disappointed with this golf course. It takes a lot for that to happen to me. I love golf.

First the good news

• I liked the quality of the range balls

• I liked the electric golf carts

• I liked the starter

Things to that could have been better.

• Please no 5-hour golf rounds

• Please do not pack people into a tiny portion of the driving range

• Please have an effective course marshal

• Please have friendlier staff at the cart area when golfers arrive

• Please do not allow snarky staff to point out to a golfer that he put the golf cart in the wrong position at the end of the golf round

Better than last time.

I havent played this course in over a year because it has always been in fair shape for the price.

This time it was in very good shape. The greens were very good except for the multitude of unrepaired ball marks. Not Starfire's fault. C'mon people, FIX YOUR BALL MARKS.

The bag attendee was neutral, not friendly and not angry. A better attitude would have been appreciated. The Pro Shop attendee was great. Friendly, and thankful for our patronage. The carts were not great. Only one sand bottle per cart and no ice chest. The carts seem a bit old as well. They worked fine though.

The only other issue was the front nine bathrooms were out of order. That was not good. Especially on a cool morning with most golfers in the 50+ age range.

If they keep the conditions up, I will gladly put this course in my regular rotation.
